For her this rhyme is penned whose luminous eyes,
"A Valentine"
by Edgar Allan Poe
For her this rhyme is penned whose luminous eyes,
Brightly expressive as the twins of Leda,
Shall find her own sweet name, that nestling lies
Upon the page, enwrapped from every reader.
Search narrowly the lines!âthey hold a treasure
Divineâa talismanâan amulet
That must be worn at heart. Search well the measureâ
The wordsâthe syllables! Do not forget
The trivialest point, or you may lose your labor
And yet there is in this no Gordian knot
Which one might not undo without a sabre,
If one could merely comprehend the plot.
Enwritten upon the leaf where now are peering
Eyes scintillating soul, there lie perdus
Three eloquent words oft uttered in the hearing
Of poets, by poetsâas the name is a poet's, too,
Its letters, although naturally lying
Like the knight PintoâMendez Ferdinandoâ
Still form a synonym for TruthâCease trying!
You will not read the riddle, though you do the best you can do.
